The World Is Getting Better. It’s Just That No One Tells You About It.
A special Morning Jolt today, as I try to run through a long but by no means complete list of good news from the past year that was astoundingly under-reported and discussed, particularly when compared to presidential tweets, discussions of which pop culture offerings weren’t woke enough, glowing profiles of the eighth or ninth-most popular Democratic presidential candidate, and so on . . .
We’ve Made Some Breathtaking Advances
You will be stunned when you realize how many dramatic breakthroughs have been made against some of the most common and deadly diseases and ailments out there.
One: A new blood test could detect breast cancer five years before other clinical signs manifest. This could be available to patients in four to five years. Separately, a new treatment for early-stage breast cancer could wipe out a growth in just one treatment.
Two: A new three-drug combination therapy could provide significant help to up to 90 percent of those suffering from cystic fibrosis.
Three: We could soon see a pill that can prevent heart attacks in high-risk patients: “Drugmaker Amarin “shocked the world last year when a long-running clinical trial showed that its medicine derived from purified fish oil, Vascepa, substantially reduced the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks in high-risk patients . . . In November, a panel of experts convened by the Food and Drug Administration reviewed Amarin’s data. They voted 16 to 0 that Vascepa was safe and cuts cardiovascular events.”
Four: Israeli researchers think they’ve discovered that a molecule designed to help stroke victims may be a new way to wipe out pancreatic cancer, which is one of the toughest cancers to treat.
Five: The Mayo Clinic injected stem cells derived from fat cells into a paralyzed patient’s spine and the patient is now walking again. This treatment may not work as well for every patient, but it provides new hope for everyone facing paralysis.
You can get stem cells from fat cells? Good heavens, I think I’ve found my calling.
Six: A new vaccine could eliminate allergies to cats.
Seven: Earlier this year, UC San Francisco researchers managed to transform human stem cells into mature insulin-producing cells, a major breakthrough in the effort to develop a cure for type 1 diabetes.
Eight: In July, researchers “successfully eliminated HIV from the DNA of infected mice for the first time, bringing them one step closer to curing the virus in humans.”
Nine: Two new treatments for the deadly Ebola virus “saved roughly 90 percent of the patients who were newly infected.”
Ten: Gene therapy developed at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has cured infants born with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency, more commonly known as “bubble boy” disease. “The children are producing functional immune cells, including T cells, B cells and natural killer (NK) cells, for the first time.”
Keep headlines like the ones above in mind the next time you hear some politician denouncing “those greedy pharmaceutical companies.”
Turning our attention to the American economy, you’ve heard about the low unemployment rate. What you may not have heard is that the workforce participation rate for those between 25 and 54 years old is up to 80.1 percent — the highest since early 2007.
If that’s eleven, then twelve would be the U.S. Census Bureau’s latest report on income and poverty, which came out in October. That report found real median family income up 1.2 percent from 2017 to 2018, real median earnings up 3.4 percent, the number of full-time, year-round workers increased by 2.3 million, and the poverty rate declined from 12.3 percent to 11.8 percent, with 1.4 million people leaving poverty.
Thirteen: Despite predictions that Amazon was going to put bookstores out of business, the number of independent bookstores keeps rising each year — the most recent figures are 1,887 independent bookselling companies running 2,524 stores.
Fourteen: The cost of lithium-ion batteries is down about 87 percent over the past decade — which makes electric vehicles a more cost-effective option for transporting goods and people.
Fifteen: There’s a lot of ugly trade wars and tariffs going on, but there is progress on some fronts. Japan just approved a deal that will lower or remove tariffs on $7.2 billion in U.S. farm goods, including a gradual reduction of its 38.5 percent duty on American beef to 9 percent. Other U.S. products including pork, wine and cheese will also get greater market access, putting the United States on a level playing field with TPP members such as Australia and Canada. The European Parliament voted last month to approve a plan that “grants the U.S. a country-specific share of the European Union’s duty-free, high-quality beef quota.”
Sixteen: In September, for the first time in 70 years, the United States exported more crude oil and petroleum products than it imported per day. Back in 2006, we were importing 13 million barrels a day. Around that time, America set out to reduce its dependence on foreign oil. Thanks to fracking and innovation, we did it.
Turning our attention to the environment, bald eagles, once on the endangered species list, are now so plentiful that San Bernardino National Forest officials are ending their annual count.
That’s seventeen. Number eighteen would arrive from over in the United Kingdom, a new study of endangered carnivorous mammals finds “two of the three ‘rarer carnivores’ (pine marten and polecat) have staged remarkable recoveries, while the third (wildcat) continues to be threatened by hybridisation. Meanwhile, akin to pine martens and polecats, the formerly rare and restricted otter has recovered much of its former range and is increasing in density.”
Nineteen: The world is literally a greener place than it was 20 years ago, and data from NASA satellites has revealed a counterintuitive source for much of this new foliage: China and India. A new study shows that the two emerging countries with the world’s biggest populations are leading the increase in greening on land. The effect stems mainly from ambitious tree planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries.
Twenty: NASA also found that “abnormal weather patterns in the upper atmosphere over Antarctica dramatically limited ozone depletion in September and October, resulting in the smallest ozone hole observed since 1982.”
Twenty-one: A study unveiled in November estimates that humpbacks in the western South Atlantic region now number 24,900 — nearly 93 percent of their population size before they were hunted to the brink of extinction. Good news, crew of the Enterprise, you may not need to use a stolen Klingon ship to find two humpbacks to save the future.
Twenty-two: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spotted and recorded video of a kraken — okay, a giant squid that was at least 10 feet long — only about 100 miles southeast of New Orleans, shortly before their vessel was struck by lightning. Okay, technically this could be bad news.
Turning our attention overseas, you heard about the raid against al-Baghdadi and the collapse of the Islamic State. You probably didn’t hear that the number of ISIS fighters in Afghanistan is “now reduced to around 300 fighters in Afghanistan, from an estimated 3,000 earlier this year.”
That’s twenty-three; twenty-four would be the impact of terrorism. We won’t know 2019’s numbers until the year ends, but deaths from terrorism fell for the fourth consecutive year in 2018, after peaking in 2014. The number of deaths has now decreased by 52 percent since 2014, falling from 33,555 to 15,952, says the 2019 Global Terrorism Index.
Twenty-five: The number of malaria infections recorded globally has fallen for the first time in several years. In 2018, Cambodia reported zero malaria-related deaths for the first time in the country’s history. India also reported a huge reduction in infections, with 2.6 million fewer cases in 2018 than in 2017.
Twenty-six: Tensions between India and Pakistan got worse overall this year over Kashmir, but India and Pakistan managed to cooperate on breaking ground on a new peace corridor that will allow more than 5,000 Sikh pilgrims to travel back and forth across the normally impassable border visa-free for the first time in 72 years.
Twenty-seven: Israeli scientists have genetically engineered an E. Coli bacteria that eat carbon dioxide.
Twenty-eight through thirty-one come from the realm of remarkable discoveries about our past. Archeologists made amazing discoveries in the past year. A 1,300-year-old ‘rook” found in the Jordanian desert may be the world’s oldest chess piece. They discovered a new humanoid Nazca line in Peru. Sometime fourth century B.C. and sixth century A.D., in what is today Iran, some civilization built a big beautiful wall running about 71 miles; it appears Mexico didn’t pay for that one, either. And in Jerusalem, archeologists found that a grand street running from the Siloam Pool to the Temple Mount was built by some guy named . . . er, Pontius Pilate.
You hear about this stuff a lot less because articles and television segments about these developments don’t make you more likely to respond in the comments section, more likely to share on social media, more likely to call into a talk radio program, or more likely to vote for a particular candidate. It doesn’t make you believe that the world is full of people who are being unfair to you, that you’re a victim, or that other people are responsible for your problems.
ADDENDUM: Whatever your day holds, it probably doesn’t include chaperoning an elementary school field trip with fourth graders that includes long bus rides to and from our educational destination. Here’s hoping not too many kids barf today.

Holy shcnizzle, a vaccine to make me not allergic to cats? What an age we live in. Good thing amerikan corporations and their vaccines have no reported side-effects or downsides. And are totally affordable.
Oh wait, I dont have a cat.
And Im not allegic to cats to begin with.
Oh well, it doesnt matter. According to National Jewview, cat allergies are history, cancer has been beaten, the crippled are walking again, The USlmaic state is on the run (again), and the troops will be home for X-mas(no they wont). The Ozone hole is no more, and species extinction is a thing of the past. Well, for 2 species, maybe, in the UK, which has virtually no significant free-roaming animals bigger than foxes rabbits, and sea-gulls left anymore. I think you can still find a few wild deer in North Scotland. Maybe the 67 million people there have something to do with that? Naw, the marmots will be fine.
Anyhow, none of that matters because you just learned, the future, NO, 2019 is so bright, ya gotta wear shades. At this rate, I fully expect flying cars, vacations on the moon, and Fusion power in 2020.

Or, as a moderate, I’d just say that things change — many for the better, and some decisively for the worse.
But overall, humanity continues to blunder along and do the best it can, with the vast majority of people looking out for themselves and their families — same as it ever was.
As always, the fast crash doomers will mindless attack this article. To them, track records don’t matter, which is ludicrous — but, it makes them willing to bleat the next “doom” constantly.

Another “feel good” article by some dimwit who thinks a few new meds, to make more money for the rich, and a few plus'(?) in minor areas, makes it a good year?
Meanwhile, The US Mafia is in many countries killing and plundering as usual. Millions of US (and UK) families are on the street and millions more are only a missed paycheck away. Drug use and suicides are climbing drastically. Debt is ballooning all over the West. The insane inside the beltway are killing what is left of freedom in Amerika. And on and on.
A sign of huge desperation when the unicorn, tree huggers need a cat vaccine to make the world sound better.
Outcast, reality is a bitch and then you die. Humanity is not blundering ahead, it is dying off. The polio vaccine was a major accomplishment. A cat allergy vaccine is desperation.

Keith, Mother Nature is going to be the winner in this race to extinction. Everything we eat, breaths or drink is polluted in one way or another by our “progress”. We feed our animals GMO grains, inject them with antibiotics and growth hormones, which are passed on to us when we consume them, etc. We are committing species suicide while we kill off the ecology that keeps us alive. We deserve what is happening and our extinction. The world will go on, but we won’t.

The threats are numerous indeed, number one being environmental degradation, but a reaction is underway. It remains to be seen if it will be enough.
Sitting on your hands and gloating about the immanent demise of humanity is hardly more admirable then ignoring the problems and pursueing BAU.

“I look at it this way… For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers… so when nature strikes back, and smacks him on the head and kicks him in the nuts, I enjoy that. I have absolutely no sympathy for human beings whatsoever. None. And no matter what kind of problem humans are facing, whether it’s natural or man-made, I always hope it gets worse.”

The argument that e-vehicles are “too expensive”, is no longer valid:
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2019/12/08/renault-k-ze-the-poor-mans-tesla/
“Renault K-ZE, the Poor-Man’s Tesla”
Chinese price of 10,000 euro (if subsidized with probably 1-3k) but European quality. Available in China next year and perhaps in Europe 1-2 years later.
10 km = 1 kWh = 10 cent in the US or 20 cent in Europe at 100 kmh speed.
270 km = 2 weeks commuting for 2.70 in the US or 5.40 in Europe.

AH, no, cloggo, you are from the holy church of fantasy solutions that are wrapped up in a fantasy white racist Eurotard empire. Nature could give a shit about a Eurotard empire. Nature could give a shit about your desire to maintain the unsustainable. If I attack your fantasy solutions it is because they do not add up. You cherry pick facts then wrap them up in a massaged agenda that is fraudulent. You then whine when these packaged facts with a covering of lies is attacked.

This is great cloggo. I am not a fan of cars of any kind especially expensive luxury cars. The car culture is what has killed the planet. The cost you are cheerleading do not include the other part of driving and that is owning cost. So, the cost per mile will have to be depreciated. This is especially true with electric vehicles that have horrible resale value. I am interested in building a shop/barn next to my house and putting several panels on it with a Transformerless Grid-tie Inverter so I can sell power back to the grid but also charge a tractor or vehicle. This type of vehicle is what I would like to have for that type of application.

You could start an energy farm, with panels in the fields and goats below it:

“In truth you are intent on dissing these developments regardless, to keep your obsolete doomer worldivew alive, you have build your entire life on.”
Cloggo, until the car comes out and we know its value on the secondary market how can we know the value depreciated with use? The car might be poorly made making its secondary value low. You gave us the hype price with hyped performance. You gave us a theoretical purchase price (likely with a hidden subsidy of sorts) for this hyped car. You did not add that figure to the cost per mile. It is more of your free energy meme like you often do with wind and solar power. You void talking about all those lifecycle cost that show the real costs of a technology. You like very small numbers or very big ones depending on the effect. You do this with about everything you talk about. These extreme descriptions mean about ever comment you make has to be divided by pi. You then whine about dissing when the reality is you are being made to be honest.

When a passenger e-plane can carry 400+ passengers and freight over 6,500 miles, non-stop, at 40,000 feet and 500+MPH, get back to me. I take that flight every year (Tokyo to Chicago over the Aleutian Islands and Alaska) and at a cost well below driving that distance on land.

“Ever more farmers (and governments) are finding out that farmers with their huge stables and corresponding large roofs can realize huge return-on-investment with solar panels. Think 240% in 15 years.”
Cloggo, you are hyping again with big numbers. Give us an annualized number with a present value. Also, to start with what are the costs of installation? There will be maintenance and loss of use for various reasons. The fact that the Dutch are jumping headlong into solar and wind without storage says it is likely at a certain point these purchases (I assume these panel deals are grid tied the return will be much less if there is an inverter and battery involved). AH, and no hydrogen is not here yet at the scale you are hyping.

Speaking of juvenile comments…”You can fly carbon-neutral with conventional planes.” Another delusion Cloggie?
How “carbon neutral are the mines where the aluminum comes from? The refining of the ores? The trucking of the refined ore to the smelter? The smelting of the many tons of metals? The shipping of the metal to the fabrication location? And that is only a small fraction of the energy needed to make a plane or anything of consequence.
Then there is the energy consumed by the people who do all of that…and on and on. What about the machines used for all of this. Are THEY “carbon neutral”? You are in denial Cloggie. Nothing is “carbon neutral if you are honest with yourself. Nothing.
BTW: Did you work in an orchard when you were young? You sure know how to cherry pick. LOL

Many of the wonderments of above article are in relation to improving the health and increasing the life span of those pesky humans. This comes from the anthro perspective of humanity being so much more important than the natural world. That is the delusion that will lead us to ruin, that the world was made for humanitys pleasure. But pleasure will be a missing ingredient in the coming days of resource scarcity and a still growing population. Oh, and there’s that ever more present shibboleth of climate disruption that requires an absolute denial which leads to a truncating of ones awareness, depositing it into the world of the 1950s.

https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2019/12/07/mark-p-mills-hack-for-the-fossil-fuel-industry/
“Mark P. Mills – Hack for the Fossil Fuel Industry”
Summary of his flaws:
– pretending that batteries are the only storage that exists
– zero concern for climate and environment
– economic growth is the only value that determines human life on this planet, the rest be damned
Ah well, at least he is educated enough not to repeat the ridiculous layman
argument, heard often here, that industrial society can’t run without fossil fuel.
But he is hardly any better and a perfect illustration of why the US withdrew from the Paris Accords: they don’t give a damn about subtleties like climate and environment. The result will be that the US is clamping itself to former oil-glory, just like Brexit is an expression of wanting to hold on to past geopolitical glory and as such completely miss the renewable energy boat.
America rose to political glory on oil, it will go down with it, unable to renew its vision for the future, after the oil-empire. Mr Mills will inspiring lead the way into the abyss.

Did I miss the meeting to ban delusional Davy’s dumbass for good? Or is that still scheduled? Gawd I hope so.
In case I am out or doing something you know, useful, here is my vote to ban Davy
+1
Hell, make it +50.

Do what I do. Put your schlong on a wood block and chop it. No people no problem. The animals will rejoice. The trauma both physical and mental is the worst but it all worth it. I have PTSD but I’m still alive and that’s all that matters

You are not alive JuanPee. You are dead but think you are alive. Please do everyone a favor here and be gone by whatever means. Everyone hates you.

mak, kloggkosher lives in an ALTernate reality, quite separate from the one the rest of us inhabit. It is a shame he is trapped in this reality, with no job, no prospects, beyond sitting in his subsidized apartment in the UK, or wherever he is really from, spamming links from a despised British tabloid whose main, no only, claim to fame is paying photographers to stalk pregnant women.
He should taken no more seriously than his equally autistic and deranged BFF.
No doubt, he will next tell you teleportation and out-out-body travel are just around the corner as well. You gotta BELEIVE, in the kloggkies technical genius.

LOL, annoymouse is back and being more dumbass. Cloggo makes you look like snot on a rag, annoymouse. In everyway he kicks you lousy sniveling ass. I don’t care for the cloggo’s message but I respect his abilities. I have zero respect for you and your best friend, stupid. The both of you need a really good ass kickin. I wish i could give it but this is the internet.

Davy….”birds of a feather”…puts you in the same flock as Cloggie. Delusional and immature. ha has no “abilities” just like you. All Cloggie has are wet dreams of a future that will never be as Europe crumbles around him and as the US crumbles around you.
As I said many times before, you are a bully, Davy, and it must be frustrating that you CANNOT hit us when we point out your faults/failures. You finally admitted it. LOL
